Description: Ra was the sun god. He is a man with a hawk head and a headdress with a sun disk. He has a golden cane and wears a tunic. and carries a ankh symbol in his hand.An ankh is symbol that means life and death.

Job: Ra is a important god to the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians believed that Ra was swallowed up every night by the sky goddess Nut, and was reborn every morning. They also believed that Ra traveled through the underworld at night, In the underworld Ra appeared to have a man body but a rams head. His job is to bring out the sun every morning and die with it at night.

Ra's Sun Temple: Ra would have a temple that is really tall which means it would be close to the sun. The Sun Temple would be a red and be made out of marble. And all 37 windows would be the shape of the sun. Inside the Sun Temple there would be red carpets,pillars that are also red,and a golden throne with rubies in craved in it. On the walls there would be golden shields,swords,axes,daggers,halberds,and other weapons. There would be about 20 rooms full of gold and other valuable items. On the ceiling there would be stained glass. that makes the image of the sun. When light shines through the stained glass it will light up the whole temple. There would also be a statue of Ra thats is made out of amber.
